Hi, friends!
I hope you had a good weekend. Was the weather nice? It was unseasonably cool here but that was nice. I don’t need the AC yet, and that’s great.
I went to a baseball game this weekend, always nice seeing the Dodgers lose. 🙂
Anything good going on?
Just got back from Walla Walla. 5 hour drive but wife drove the easy half on the way back, I got the mountain passes. Low 80’s over there & mid 70’s here but feels warmer. Had some of the best wines I have ever had on this trip so that was amazing. My liver & credit card may need a break. I’ll try to post some pics and stories during the week if time allows.
I got a new TV today. I went from a 55 Inch 20 year old TV to a 65 inch brand new smart TV. Quite the improvement! And even better, it was FREE. My neighbor’s office moved and they were giving away all their furniture and TVs and stuff.
That’s fantastic!!! Congrats on the new tv!
Hey so this is horrifying – Three people have died after a suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, the World Health Organization (WHO) has told the BBC. Thank fuck it’s one of those super expensive small cruises where there are only like 150 passengers today plus crew, and not like one of the massive 4000+ passenger ones.

We took the camper van out to a state park in Oregon. Had really nice weather and a very nice campground. Got lots of bird-watching done, went for a good run, and several nice walks. I’ll see if I can attach some photos.

A good trip to play around with my new-to-me DSLR camera.
That looks great. Wonderful photos. We need another bird-watching thread from you soon.
I just found out that the cherry blossom trees that line my backyard are in fact fruit bearing ones 😠They are taller than my house and their combined canopy covers my whole backyard. Maybe I’ll gather them once they fall and make Kirschwasser like my great-grandfather used to. My grandfather still has a bottle left and I swear a teaspoon of it is enough to liquify your insides ðŸ«
